I think the petition on a site is a good idea. At the least, I can
point several people at it, and the word might get around at Apple.
Make sure it's not confrontational. Something like: "Hey, there are a
lot of perl programmers out here who'd love to bring our applications to
Mac OS X. Rumor has it that Apple can bridge Perl to Cocoa, much like
the Java to Cocoa bridge, and were that to become available to us, we'd
find it enormously useful."
I don't have time to rewrite the thing, but I can help maintain it,
and I'm sure others can pitch in as well; if people use and need it, the
maintenance comes of its own.
